My twin time is in light twins, single pilot. For me, Phase 1 includes maintaining heading so the tracking is taken care of under aviate.
I would then go straight to phase #2 - which is still part of
Aviate. I also include looking after the remaining engine ie back to 25" and 2500.
The choice of alternates &c, for Navigation comes later (actually I suppose it should come much earlier, on the ground, as I tell the students
) - once the plane is squared away and I am not going to get any more nasty surprises - hopefully.
As for communicating, I follow CB Rule 3#:
Never fly the mike instead of the plane
(did it once and never again).
if I can maintain altitude, heading &c and the remaining engine is OK and I know my new destination, then Communicate.
Just my 2 cents (or pennies).
